One of the scariest, most tough NHLers of all-time is returning to the ice for one last game.
Dustin 'Big Buff' Byfuglien is making a one-off comeback alongside other retired NHL legends for ex-teammate Marian Hossa's farewell game for charity in August.
Career Cut Short
Byfuglien was one of the games most dominant defenseman during the early to mid 2010's before major injuries got in his way.
A physical force to be reckoned with, the former Winnipeg Jets Captain held players accountable both on and off the ice with devastating hits and tough lessons.
Byfuglien was forced to retire due to injuries after a dispute with the Jets before the 2019/20 season.
